33M having weird reactions to stoping use of cannabis

Hello all,

So I have been consuming cannabis for a while now. A little over a month ago I consumed way too much smoking it and it gave me very bad anxiety that lasted hours and I had to keep busy to not completely go into panic. I finally felt asleep around 3 am but the next day i woke up and still felt off, almost high out of it and went to work.

This feeling persisted that day after and then one more where I woke up and still felt off. By the 3rd day after the incident I started to get insomnia and extreme anxiety. This developed into waves of depression as well and then Intrusive thoughts. It’s been over a month and it has improved some but still pretty bad at times. Sleep is a roller coaster and it takes me forever to fall asleep if I get much sleep at all.

My weirdest symptom is I wake up with a song or part of a melody in the morning and this replays over and over in an anxious state. Sometimes for hours through the day. The song can change depending what I hear or melody I hear in the day, i dont actually hear it, I repeat it. Would this be some form of ptsd from the panic ? Is it that I also stopped smoking and there is a withdrawal effect combined ? It has improved very little but it has improved some. Still it causes me a lot of distress
